Over the past decade, a number of searches for fundamental physics signals have reached the point where their sensitivity is limited not by technical noise but by quantum mechanics itself. These include searches for gravitational waves, a number of dark matter candidates, and even quantum signatures of gravity. I will give a brief overview of some of these ideas and experiments, and highlight some of the main open questions and directions for the next decade
